Hi Nick. Nice pix!
Presumably those little explosions are pockets of gas igniting, or erosion events. Cave, Frater! you can ignite the whole volume of gas and have a little D2 chemical explosion. I had good electrode stability with a thicker dia platinum rod; and I like the geometry of the triangle. A cone would be even more stable, like an igniter in an ignitron. Can you calibrate the neutron detector? It's important to set some kind of limits for the ( so far it seems ) null results. Perhaps someone can loan you a cup of neutrons to test with.... If the plasma sheath covers the whole electrode and you increase the voltage, you begin to enter the anomalous glow regime of discharge. Some folks have claimed magical things happen here. Beyond the fairy lights and the will-o-the-wisp as shown in your pics. BTW, is Bounty even _rated_ for heavy water spills?

My son uploaded it last night onto Sam Faile's website: http://www.geocities.com/spfaile/plasma/Plasma.html Only one format erratum for now - the spaces in some tabular data in the original Word doc didn't come through in html, so when you get to the italicized excerpts from the lab notes in two spots, they are scrunched to one side. Will have that fixed soon. Enjoy. NR __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
